BAs FOE Wool aROwERs.

The Red Bluff (Cal.) Sentinel has the
following: The wool growers and wool
shippers of California will be the first
classes Of business men to enjoy the lux
ury of the Interstate Commerce law.
Instead of a blessing it will prove q
curse to the people and especially the
wool growers. All kinds of merchandise
will be materially affected by the changes
made in carrying from this State, and it
is said wool will be no exception. The
rate of freight at present is low, but viii
be advanced several cents per pound,
reaching up to five cents. As a conse-
quenoe Of the uncertainty which prevails
several buyers who usually leave the
Eastern cities for California by this time
in former years are now awaiting what
ever turn affairs will take.
A dispatch from Boston to this Coast,
if there is any truth in it, looks like
death to the wool trade in this State, &C
far as the Eastern market is concerned,
Agents of the railroad companies state
that the freight on wool going to Eastern
markets will be 81 so per hundred
pounds after the 9Th of April. This il
one of the Injuries of the Interstate
Commerce law.

The New York Tribune's Washington
special says: Among the Presidents
callers to-day was ex-senator Van Wyck,
of Nebraska, who is finishing up some
private business before returning home.
Everything points to a combination Of
the railroads" said Van Wyck, with
the view of making the Interstate Com
merce law as obnoxious as possible to the
people. For instance, l see that the
Pennsylvania road has already announced
an increased rate of 90 per cent on com.
mutation tickets, and the Baltimore &
Ohio is preparing to follow suit. Then,
too, the companies throughout the West
are calling in the outstanding l,000-mile
tickets. declaring that the law prohibits
their issue. Such an idea never entered
the heads of the trainers of the bill, and
there is nothing either directly or indi-
rectly in the law that is applicable on
the point. These tickets were a great
accommodation to mercantile travellers,
and their recall by the railroads will not
have a tendency to make many substan-
tial friends for the new statute"

A Ms ON PASSES.

President Adams, Of the Union Pa.
ciic, in his address on the Interstate
Commerce bill at the recent dinner OF
the Commercial Club at Boston, made
the following remarks about railroad
passes, which is of interest here as well
as in the East:
And as one phase Of this question,
comes up the matter of free passes. As
respects them l have long been on record.
/ hold that the free pass system on the
railroads of this country is an outrageous
abuse, and that the most radical remedy
should be applied to it. How absurd it
is hat whole classes of persons should
habitually travel for nothing, while
others are compelled to pay! Neither
would any human being find fault with
a positive prohibition of the system Of
free transportation. Provided, that
every one knew that his neighbor paid
as well as himself none would find fault.
I have, therefore, done the little / could
to get the railroads to seize this oppor-
tunity to get rid Of an abuse, the magni-
tude of which few people realize. I'm.
fortunately, a loop-hole for escape is left
open, and I fear that the railroads. un.
equal to the occasion, will avail them
selves of it. The law applies only to
travel between the States. Travel linn
tied to any single State is not affected by
it. 1t is in the power, therefore, OF rail-
road corporations operating lines between
States and Territories to issue any num-
of passes they see fit, provided only that
they read "good between points in such
and such a State or in such or such
Territory" 1t is a mean and contempt.
IDLE evasion. Nevertheless, it is a legal
evasion, and I have small hope that the
railroad companies will have the wisdom
to avail themselves of it.

In the House of Commons recently,
after Balfour had closed his remarks on
the Coercion bill, Dillon got the floor
and created a sensation by delivering one
of his most impassioned and remarkable
speeches while laboring under great ex.
element. Practically shaking his fist in
the face of the Government, he cried in
a hoarse voice: eff the people Of Eng.
land should be capable of passing such a
law, I should give up all hope of ever
seeing the two peoples shake hands and
be friends. If ! thought they could &C.
cept such a measure, 1 would abandon
the public agitation, for / would consider
a man o slave who would submit to such
matters. / should do either of two
things--I would leave forever the coun.
try wherein no Irishman could live ex.
cept like a slave, or / would be proud
and willing to lead them to BATTLE"
Dillon's remarks were enthusiastically
applauded by ''the grand old man."

The price gt copper, since our last published adgices, has Auctuated with fa ysry narrow limits, tho highest quotation belng lsc, and from which figure it has dochned only twenty five or thirty points It is evident that the market is under the complete con trol of the combination that hss thus far so successfully conducted the cor nsr, and it is useless to attempt pre- dictiou as to the immediate future of copper, without tho power Of diyining the intention of the syndicate. Be. sides the Immediate profit derived from the increased value of the metal, she syndicate had large holdings oF Spanish shares, some of which have advanced almost three hundred per cent, and t may be that, after parting with shess at ths enhanced prices, they will withdraw and allow the movement to decline, which it cer- tainly w,uld with this support re- moved.
 There was strong reason for the ad- vance in the beginning of tho boom, stocks having been 50 greatly de- pleted as to threaten copper famine, but the movement soon assumed an unhealthy phage through speculation becoming the dominant factor, and as . result the rise has been too rapid aud great to insure it's long contin. nance. It is with copper as with wheat and corn, supply and demand finally regulate the valuc. Tho En. gineeripg and Mining Journal cor. re;tly states the situation It saysi "The effect of great advance tri prices is not only to increase produc. ton, which is . somewhat slow opera ton, but to lessen consumption which comes with great rapidity.
 We know that 10 cents for Lake cop- per and E39 for 0hili bars will not bring about a production equal to the consumption of the world. What price wIll bring about an equaIibriup? This is evidently a starting point, and as nine-tenths of the worlds copper is produced by small number of raines, the question is not difficult to answer. Without examining the statistical 6g- ures on which the answer rests, we may assume that even less tbat i2 cents for Lake and .e45 for Chill bars will bring full supply for the de- mands of Che consumers, This m a very conservative view at the same tiae it probably is the correct one. However, there is no immediate pros. pect of great decline, There can be no atlrociablo increase in production for five or six months, and present
